It's a good thing Favre made it clear that he's not going to commit to a career in broadcasting, or else we'd all be waiting on pins and needles for his next game, or wondering if there would even be a next game. In the meantime, he's been biding his time as a volunteer coach at a local high school just outside of Hattiesburg, where he still lives.

While the release doesn't specify, this might be Favre's first foray into broadcasting. Of course, he's been in movies, done a slew of commercials and even freelanced for some Internet sites (zing!), but it will be interesting to see what he adds as a color commentator.
